Life
Venerable Barlaam is commemorated on 30 May (new style). The Greek synaxarion says only that he lived in severe asceticism and fell asleep in peace. Its verses say that even the ends of the earth knew Barlaam, who struggled perfectly to the end of his life.
The place and time of his struggle are not preserved in the sources consulted. The name Barlaam, of Syrian origin, is borne by several saints; he should not be confused with the Holy Martyr Barlaam of Antioch or with the teacher of Joasaph.
